			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are few better ways to both connect with fellow bloggers and pass value to your readers then through a well gathered link roundup. This is an area of the Blueprint that can certainly stand some improvement. The next era of the Blueprint will see a round-up published every other Friday.</p>
<p>Enjoy the links, have a wonderful weekend, and we&#8217;ll see you next week.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t checked out the <a href="http://frugaltheme.com/">hottest new WordPress theme</a>, you really need to. It&#8217;s awesome, free, and designed by none other than the Blueprint&#8217;s own Eric Hamm.</p>
<p>Did you know that WordPress has it&#8217;s own <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2009/04/23/did-you-know-wordpress-has-its-own-url-shortener-built-in/">URL-shortener</a> built right into the architecture? No! Neither did I, but now I do.</p>
<p>Sean has been wondering for a while if he should stick with <a href="http://writerdad.com">Writer Dad</a> or move to Sean Platt for his Twitter name. This post articulates 10 reasons why <a href="http://bit.ly/UZd4W ">real names are better</a><a href="http://www.twitip.com/10-reasons-to-use-your-real-name-as-your-twitter-name/">.</a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://is.gd/tADZ">categories vs. tags</a> debate has raged since the blogging&#8217;s beginnings. The battle continues.</p>
<p>Chris Guillebeau just came to Sean&#8217;s attention last week, but he has been wowed with lightning. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cy93kg">Chris is awesome</a>, here&#8217;s just one reason why.</p>
<p>Though this post is nearly as old as the Blueprint, the subject of<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/01/23/a-reality-check-about-blogging-for-money/"> </a><a href="http://twurl.nl/hvpazx">making a living with blogging</a> is one we&#8217;ve covered quite a few times around these parts.</p>
<p>Remember last week when Twitter was getting all that <a href="http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2009/04/19/what-happens-when-twitter-gets-mainstream-attention/">mainstream attention</a>? Yeah, I know. Who could forget?</p>
<p>Remember when Eric and Sean were on ProBlogger talking about being <a href="http://twurl.nl/lkgjhf">blogging buddies</a>? Darren did too.</p>
<p>Gary Vaynerchuk is everywhere. Why? Because he&#8217;s doing what he loves and waves his <a href="http://garyvaynerchuk.com/">passion</a> like a weilded weapon.</p>
<p>Michael Martine has been publishing some deep, meaty posts. This week&#8217;s on whether blogs <a href="http://michaelmartine.com/2009/04/20/should-you-have-a-blogroll/">should have a blogroll</a> was a total winner.</p>
<p>See you Monday,</p>
<p>The Blueprint Team</p>
